A. B. C. D.B.
In this scenario, the finance group in a company wants to make a new application available to all members of the finance department, which is currently installed on all the finance desktops but will be moving to a cloud-hosted model. The IT administrator needs to manage access to the new application in the most effective way possible.
Option A: Package the application using ThinApp and deploy to the finance department. ThinApp is a VMware application virtualization solution that allows applications to be packaged into a single executable file. This packaged application can be deployed to users' desktops or delivered to users through a network share. However, this solution does not address the fact that the application is moving to a cloud-hosted model, and it does not provide centralized management of access to the application.
Option B: Manage the application with VMware Identity Manager. VMware Identity Manager is an identity and access management solution that provides secure access to applications from any device. It allows administrators to manage access to applications and resources centrally, including cloud-hosted applications. By using VMware Identity Manager, the IT administrator can manage access to the new cloud-hosted application and provide secure access to the finance group.
Option C: Assign the new application to the finance department using App Volumes. App Volumes is a VMware solution that allows applications to be delivered in real-time to virtual desktops or published desktops. It enables administrators to manage application volumes and assign applications to users or groups of users. By using App Volumes, the IT administrator can assign the new cloud-hosted application to the finance department and deliver it in real-time to virtual desktops.
Option D: Deploy each user a new cloud-based virtual desktop. Deploying each user a new cloud-based virtual desktop is a solution, but it can be costly and time-consuming. It also does not provide centralized management of access to the new cloud-hosted application, which can create difficulties for the IT administrator when managing access to the application.
Overall, Option B (Manage the application with VMware Identity Manager) or Option C (Assign the new application to the finance department using App Volumes) would be the best solutions for managing access to the new cloud-hosted application. They both provide centralized management of access to the application, while also being scalable and cost-effective.
